Man Utd deserved to win.

super_furry · 07-11-2020 02:27PM

So I international week now, so that's Ole safe for another month or so. Good stuff.

Slattsy · 07-11-2020 02:29PM

Big win. Man u up to 13th. #olein

TitianGerm · 07-11-2020 02:29PM

That was an awful performance from the ref today. Some really strange decisions.

Father Hernandez · 07-11-2020 02:30PM

Fernandes different class.

There will be plenty eyes on Palace v Leeds now. A draw there and United go back down to 15th.

Maguire could have been in trouble, def should have been a pen and then the question would be was he making a legitimate effort to play the ball for a potential red. Just an all round poor reffing performance.

Just like with the VVD incident a few weeks ago, it's offside so it can't be a pen, never mind a definite one.

Potential Underachiever · 07-11-2020 02:37PM

Fernandes reminds me a bit of Suarez, not in his style of play or anything just more in the 'eat an apple through a tennis racket' sort of look about him.

thelad95 · 07-11-2020 02:46PM

VAR is actually blurring the lines too much in some cases. Letting marginal offsides go is surely likely to lead to more desperate tackles, potentially leading to more injuries which all seems pretty pointless if the play just gets called back anyway?? Few instances of this today coupled with Pickford's ridiculous challenge a few weeks ago on VVD, this looks like it's going to be a burning issue week in week out.

Also the continuing question over whether a player can be carded in such an instance?

Kiith · 07-11-2020 03:20PM

Var strikes again. Stupid call in the Leeds game there...no way that was offside.

He's literally a yard onside.
The arm thing is ridiculous

It's the worst "offside" I've ever seen, stretched out arm is now classified as offside

Bridge93 · 07-11-2020 03:24PM

Jesus that’s some free kick

Fitz* · 07-11-2020 03:24PM

That's the worst call I've seen yet this season. And probably won't be a worse call either.

Mushy · 07-11-2020 03:25PM

What part of the body to the left of that red line can you score with? A joke

Kiith · 07-11-2020 03:25PM

This is what's offside these days...ridiculous.

07-11-2020 03:25PM

2-0 now where it really would have been 1-1 and a completely different turn on the game

**** VAR

I only glanced at the replay to check and thought "Yep, he is onside anyway". Seems ludicrous, would like to see it again.

eigrod · 07-11-2020 03:28PM

Great goal Bamford. Good open game here

07-11-2020 03:29PM

This is a great game all the same

What a finish

tinpib · 07-11-2020 03:30PM

And now a deserved peach by Bamford.

The red line is drawn from the point where the player can score from. The Henderson goal against Everton was ruled out in a similar fashion. Mane had his back towards goal and elbow out behind him and was judged to be off.

If the ball hit there and was scored from, I'd say its be ruled out for handball, and be grand with that. Also, the line on bamford is further down the arm than the line on the defenders arm. Awful call

I think the line from the palace player comes from the end of the sleeve as well but his arm is in closer to his body.

Still a stupid decision.

Ohmeha · 07-11-2020 03:39PM

There is just no discussion or any debate over Bamford's "offisde" goal, these idiots making their stupid rules need to piss off out of the sport and by the next round of matches their stupid rules needs to be removed from the sport

ERG89 · 07-11-2020 03:45PM

I know that was a big deflection but Leeds goalie really isn't particularly good.

yourdeadwright · 07-11-2020 03:45PM

Ole post game interview made hin look like a man inder real pressure
He was actually roght in what he said but it came across as a man with his neck on the line

He was spot on. The premier league need to take back control of their own fixture lists. The take the money and run, no thought given to players or fans who have to travel when they can go to games. Every other league attempts to help their clubs in Europe, Premier league never does.

Lucas Hood · 07-11-2020 03:58PM

That angle for Bamford offside isn't great.

Would wonder if they can use the vr sky use sometimes use on MNF.

Lets them see things from all different perspectives.

Agent Coulson · 07-11-2020 04:05PM

Well if an millimeter at an armpit is offside or the back of a heel of a player facing away from goal is then that arm above the shirt sleeve is well offside.
